meeting as the grievances Of the Amer.
lean colonies were set forth In the
Declaration Of Independence,
Wha, is It proposed to do for Ireland
by this obnoxious measure?
To suspend the writ Of habcas corpus
in time of peace;
TO invest stipeniiary magistrates ap.
pointed by the British Government,
and dependent upon It for their ,enuros
Of office, with extraordinary, unusual
and arbitrary powers contrary TO the
Magma Charta;
To abridgG, and In some cases en-
iirely abolish, the right of trial by
jury;
To transport lrishmen charged with
pretended ofrenses to England to he
tried by alien jurles;
To quarter large bodies Of troops
among the people of Ireland, thus eat
ing away their substance and increas
ing taxation; and finally,
10 provide for "the enforcement OF
various other Infamous and odious
cnac,men,s, sweeping away perma.
nently every vestige of those civil and
political rights and privileges regarded
by enlightened governments as neces.
sary for the protection of the life lib.
erty and property of free people"
The meeting TO be held at Masonic
Temple Thursday night Is to protest
against the passage OF this odious bill
1t is intended as an expression not
only of Irish. American opinion, but of
the opinions of oil Americans, who
having enjoyed the fruits of political
independence, know how to sympa.
